Big guns go into battle in Junior Cup

JOINT tournament favourites Ard Scoil Rís and Crescent Comprehensive are in action this afternoon as the Avonmore Munster Schools Junior Cup quarter-finals get underway.

Ard Scoil take on St Munchin’s at Clifford Park (3pm), while Crescent meet Presentation Brothers College, Cork, another fancied side despite having to come through the back door, at Dooradoyle (3.30pm).

Pres lost the opening round (15-5) to an Ard Scoil side fielding a number of players from last year’s side.
